A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three people were injured in an attack at a school in Sheffield.
Two adults and a child were treated at the scene following the incident at Birley Academy on Birley Lane.
Both adults suffered minor injuries while the child was being "checked over", South Yorkshire Police said.
The force said officers responded to reports of an incident involving a "sharp object" at about 08:50 BST.
A police spokesperson said: "A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in police custody.
"Police will remain at the scene throughout the day to provide assurances to those in the school and the local community."
The BBC understands that the school was initially put into lockdown but shortly after 11:00 BST pupils began to leave the school.
